I mean it was already huge, but all this press is pushing up last minute sales through the roof.

I bought $2/2 tickets as a total joke and the only reason I bought them is the IL state lotto introduced online purchases just the past week or so. I wouldn't have ever bothered to go into a store to buy any. It was the first time I ever spent money on the lotto, period. No instant or scratch off games or anything, ever. Did one random quick pick and one pick my own.

Best of luck to any MR purchasers. If you win, feel free to toss me a grand to upgrade my Late 2006 MacBook, kthanks.

I bought one, because why not? Buying more than that seems like a waste, though. I read a statistic on this particular drawing that says you're 33% more likely to be killed by bees within a year than you are to win this thing.
